Buffy's Cordelia (Charisma) in Playboy - worth seeing?

I really liked it personally, but then I don’t usually buy Playboy or look at a lot of pictures like that. Just not my thing. I make exceptions for certain people though (Like Charisma… mmm)

I had let my subscription to PB lapse out of near terminal boredom. But I heard Charisma was gonna be in a pictorial, and they offered me a year’s subscription for $12.00, so I said “What the heck.” And…I’ve spent better twelve dollars in my time.

I’m sure it’s not the charming Ms. Charisma’s fault – the photographer’s in Playboy have been phoning it in for a long time now, and if they accidentally get a good shot, then the retouchers suck any reality out of it. (For an example of what I mean, check out the pictures of the women in the centerfold – without exception, the candid pictures they take of the women in street clothes and mostly un-airbrushed are vastly sexier than the posed shots with the lingerie and the lights.

I’ve seen some nice pictures of Charisma on the 'net before. She is quite physically attractive, and was great as Cordelia on Buffy and Angel. I’m sure I’ve seen her on a late-night talk show once or twice, but I don’t particularly remember her appearances. That takes her down a notch with me attraction-wise, but I’ve yet to meet her personally. (I definitely remember that one particular Caroline Rhea appearance on Conan. :wink: )

That said, I’m only 28, and most models and actresses these days don’t do much for me. I find the models and actresses of the 1960s and early 70s much more attractive in general. (Nice to see the low-cut swimsuit bottoms have made a return. :slight_smile: ) Russ Meyer’s girls do more for me than the typical window dressing in many movies today. And, Caroline Rhea… Now that’s a woman!

Now that I think about it, Meyer’s films actually have more plot than many of today’s films as well. :wink: And did I mention Caroline Rhea? :smiley:

Anyhoo…

This why I do what I do the way that I do it.

Just pop up a newsgroup alt.binaries.nude.celebrities.female has the entire set of 10 posted several times. She’s in good shape but nothing amazing. As others have mentioned I am surprised how poorly the pics are staged relative to a classic Playboy photo shoot from my youth in the 70’s and 80’s.

Her breasts are medium to full sized for her frame, but a little too globular, high and symmetrical for me to completely buy them as natural (they might be).

I think the comment of one of the posters in that group was pretty funny
